1) What inspired you
to write this book?
The horrific
consequences of children who are abandoned, is a subject which I believe needs
all of our attention. We ignore situations at our peril. This is what I burned
to explore. There is so much that we could all easily do to improve the
‘circumstances’ of children.

I have a cabin in the
garden which I bought on Ebay and it came from Lithuania. It is painted a blue
grey and I love it. Sometimes it is used for guests to sleep in. My son also
paints in there, so it’s a lively, happy place but calm when I am there
writing.

5)Are you a plotter or
a pantser?
a pantser?
I am both. I think for
the first few years, I was a total pantser and this was perhaps necessary, to

own ‘circumstances’ and have a cooler eye for structure, for organisation. But
characterisation will always be my overriding passion.

a smart, dull school where the only regular excitement was the strap. Worked in
